Chunky Cherry Jam Twist
Pit and roughly chop fresh cherries along with juice. Add fresh lime juice, a split vanilla bean, powdered fruit pectin, and a reduced sugar amount initially. Heat aggressively to a full rolling boil never stopping when stirring. Add brown sugar and honey mixture next, return to boil for exactly 65 seconds with constant stirring. Cool if not canning. For canning, prep jars by boiling then cooling upside down. Fill hot jars, clean rims, seal tightly, and boil water bath for 12 minutes. Cool undisturbed until lids pop. Store unopened jars up to 18 months, open jars refrigerate max one month.
